Summary - 1, FOSSE WAY LE7 1NF
5 bed 4 bath Character Property
Imposing five-bed period home with annexe and triple garage on large private gardens.
Spacious Edwardian detached house on a huge private plot
Threeways is an imposing Edwardian detached home set on a very large, private plot in central Syston. The house blends extensive original character — oak parquet, stained and leaded windows, multiple period fireplaces and a light-filled garden room — with sensitive modern updates such as a bespoke Moir & Wade farmhouse kitchen, double glazing and gas central heating. The layout includes five principal bedrooms, two attic rooms with conversion potential and a self-contained annexe, offering flexible space for family living or multi-generational arrangements.
Outdoor space is a standout: electric wrought-iron gates open to a broad gravel carriage driveway and triple garage block with storage above. South-west facing, landscaped gardens with terraces, a brick summerhouse and mature specimen trees provide privacy and numerous entertaining areas. Practical features include three garages with electric doors, a boiler room, plentiful storage (but also a coal store) and no recorded flood risk.
Important practical points: the main house is solid brick as built (pre-1929) and is assumed to have no wall insulation, which may affect energy performance and future retrofit costs. Council Tax is in Band G and described as quite expensive. The attic rooms will likely require formal planning and building works to convert to full living accommodation. While the property has been lovingly maintained by the same family for decades, buyers should expect ongoing upkeep typical of a large period home.
Overall this is a rare, substantial Edwardian family home for those seeking protected privacy, generous reception space and scope to adapt the house further. It will suit buyers who value period detail and garden privacy and who are comfortable budgeting for insulation, potential conversions and the higher running costs associated with a large, historic property.
